Michael's Way helps childhood cancer families pay their non-medical bills when a cancer diagnosis creates overwhelming financial stress. They work directly with hospitals and social workers to identify families in need and pay up to $5,000 per year directly to service providers for things like rent, mortgage payments, utilities, and car payments. This lets parents focus on their child's treatment instead of worrying about keeping the lights on or losing their home.
The organization has raised over $12 million since 2002 and served thousands of families, with 100% of donations going directly to help families. They also offer full four-year college scholarships for students impacted by pediatric cancer, help renovate homes to create safe recovery spaces, and run holiday programs where donors adopt families to provide gifts. Their Reading Corner program keeps kids engaged in learning during treatment with books and activities led by retired teachers.
